Cocaine Cowboys is unquestionably my favorite documentary of all time

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

if you haven't seen it STILL, you've lost so hard. I watch it like every week and it entertains me more every time I watch it. The first Rakontur hit, love that rapid fire cutting style, the ominous music, and the fact that they got the story from THE DUDES WHO RAN THE GAME is just amazing.

I don't know if it can be replicated. I own it on dvd and que it up on netflix reguarly.

Jon Roberts is one of the best storytellers ever the way stories would just unravel when he talks...RIP THIS LEGEND. Good story from his death: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2011/12/jon_roberts_drug_smuggler_in_c.php

Rivi = STONE COLD killer..best on american soil

Mickey Munday = low key arrogant baller


I'm sure its on youtube but i'm at work..drop this classic just in case

It's one of my go to movies after a night of drinking and I plop on the couch. I'm convinced some of those legendary hitmen that worked in the mafia had nothing on Rivi.

imagine sharing a cell with that dude knowing he has WAAAY more bodies on him than convicted for

Franklin from GTA 5 in part 2 was a real loyal guy.

The hitman ended up testifying against his employer.

There is no loyalty in the demonic realm, friends. Its so demonic.

10/10

I watched it back to back

 

[Regular_P]

I was shocked at how entertaining this was. Even though it was a documentary, it played like a movie.

Been years since I watched it though. I need to buy it.

 

[Soundbwoy]

they need to base a movie off that instead of all these stupid reboots

 

[jadillac]

Yeah, it's great.

I'm always amazed at the level of detail that these guys remember and the amount of footage/evidence used. Some of the stories seemed so outlandish to me that I googled them to see if they were true and all of them were

that guy Billy Corben does great work in general....he's cool to chop it up w/ on facebook as well about his projects.

When they were outlining the way they moved the coke in the tow trucks

The best was him talking about his riches

Jon - "and it was nothing to spend $5000 at strip club... and im not talking about once or twice im talking about 4-5 nights a WEEK "

"Youd have guys like me, rafa, 4-5 of rafas guys buying 9-10 mercedes a year... come on...who buys 10 mercedes a year...with a check from a panama "

I agree that it is one of the best if not the best. part two was decent also but not that great.

Actually that's not true. Rivi was impressive in terms of number of bodies(though there are mobsters with more) but he was relatively unskilled and unsophisticated, both in terms of actual murder and in terms of evading police.
